A bittersweet memory

Sorry for my long delay in posting. However, I had to blog about this...

Each of us cricket lovers have our own special moments. My "special" moment was in 2002. It was a test match in Antigua with the West Indies taking on India. Anil Kumble delivered a special performance to win. What's so special about that you ask? Jumbo had broken his jaw earlier in the game and had returned, with his face bandaged up. His jaw was so fragile that he couldn't appeal for LBW decisions, with the Indian team helping out.

For me, this is what sport, and human endurance is all about. When the chips are down, it's not about analysing why they're down, it's about getting up there and doing the best we can

Can't say anymore, but will have a detailed post up soon.

Once again, Jumbo, you are a true sportsman!!!! The Indian team is much richer for your involvement in the XI.
